The first, quite apart from any licencing issues, will not work. RH has to be installed onto a local drive with the user's logon and with admin rights.

People keep talking as if RH has some bug that prevents it from using files that are on a network drive. I would love to see actual proof of this. No, the scenario "I moved it to a local drive and it worked." is not proof.

Thanks for coming back on this, particularly given your network knowledge. Yes I would like to raise a couple of points.
1] RH Bug
I don't think anyone has said it is a bug in RH, certainly I have not. My understanding is that these problems arise from the fact that RH has an Access database underpinning its working and, by all accounts, Access does not always work well across a network. The latter is what I have been told by numerous people who should have the relevant knowledge. I know one company that I worked for had a product that relied on an Access database and I know it worked OK on some intallations and disastrously on others. Couple that with postings on this forum from Adobe employees saying RH should be installed to the hard disk and you will understand where it becomes normal to suggest moving a project to the hard disk. In many cases it does fix the problem. The correct procedure in your eyes, I guess, would be to fix all the network problems so that Access ran sweetly on it. What would you rate the chances of many technical authors getting that done by their IT people? Hence we don't suggest it.

Hopefully you will agree that what we are saying is not that RH has a bug, it's more about the Access database and the fact that problems arise and are fixed by moving the project. No it's not proof of anything but a doctor might prescribe something without proof of why it cures an illness accepting merely that it does and has no adverse side effects, especially if the alternative is death or something close.
Nobody is categorically blaming either RH or Access. We are merely stating the solution.

2] Are you saying that if my hard disk has partitions C and D where D is available to others as a share, I can install it to D?
OR
Are you saying that if I have a mapping to say E which is on another PC, I can install it there?
OR
Are you say that both would work?
(I am assuming here that this is on a network that does not cause any problems. Some people have posted that they have no such problems. Some of them continue that way. Others eventually hit a problem. Others plain cannot get it to work.)

If anything reads like I am challenging what you say, I am not. Merely trying to get a better understanding.
